help choosing bottle

When I was prego I bought the second nature bottles and nipples for lo. He took them okay. Now the stuff about BPA has come out and guess what... the bottles are not BPA free and I can't find a bottle the nipples will fit on. I haven't pumped in about 2-3 months but I want to try to give a bottle in the next day or so and now I'm clueless about what to buy. What would be a good bottle to buy (closest thing to bfing)? LO takes a soothie pacifier but their bottles aren't BPA free either.

Exclusively , , and when we find the time !!! And now loving Totally bleesed with born 2-25-08.

We used the Playtex Nurser with drop-ins. The drop-ins are BPA free, I believe. We used the slow flow nipple for the duration of her bottle days- never moved up! And she did really well with them! Hope this helps...

Re: help choosing bottle

We had a hard time choosing a bottle too. MY LO really liked the ventair but now we are BPA free and using the BPA free Dr. Brown's. She really seems to like it. We are using the premie nipples though because all of the stage 1 nipples, and I mean all brands, seemed to be to fast for her.

I don't know where you are from but Babies R Us is exchanging any bottle containing BPA that they sell for BPA free ones. It is a coorporate thing so they are all supposed to do it. They give you the full price for the bottles you have in store credit used only toward BPA free bottles. No reciept or box needed, you don't even have to have been registered there or anything.
HTH Good Luck

Re: help choosing bottle

I don't know if the one you are using are wide neck or standard but here are some BPA free bottles (sorry these are a repeat. I didn't read the above posts until I posted lol):

Standard size:Medela (you can get them at target, babiesrus, burlington coat factory, etc) These are what I used for storing my breastmilk.

Dr Browns (if you want plastic ones, get the cloudy ones, NOT the clear ones. They also make glass ones but I heard they're as good for storing BM. I have both and they can be found at the above stores as well). This is the one you want: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=3092104

Playtex Dropins - not the other types such as ventaire. You can actually get a free playtex dropin bottle right now from their website. http://www.playtexbaby.com/bpafree/info.html
They can be purchased anywhere. Oh, playtex also makes glass bottles too.

Walmart also has their parent's choice bottles and some of them have a label that say BPA free. You may have to dig. I don't like walmart....
